Daisy Shah recalls how she was blamed for Jai Ho’s failure: ‘People were saying why don’t you die…’

Recalling the kind of trolling she had to face, the actor shared, “We have seen all kinds of trolls where people have gone to the extent ki tu marr kyu nahi jaati? Ab isse bada kya hi ho sakta hai? (Why don’t you die? What can be bigger than that?)”

Daisy Shah said that just before Jai Ho, Salman Khan had delivered Ek Tha Tiger which was a massive hit at the box office but the former’s collections weren’t as high as the YRF film, which disappointed his fans. She said that even trade people compared the two films, even though they were made on different budgets and comparing them was “utter nonsense”.

Daisy shared that the ticket prices for Jai Ho were not hiked as it was a film for the common man. “The ticket rates were not hiked at all. It was a deliberate conscious decision by the makers. The reason being the film’s tagline said ‘people’s man’ and clearly Salman’s words that a people’s man cannot make a hole in common man’s pocket, that’s not going to happen,” she recalled.

As per the Race 3 actor, Jai Ho was made on a Rs 60 crore budget and made Rs 136 crore, which makes the movie a hit in her eyes but since everyone compared it to Ek Tha Tiger, it failed to create the same impression.

Daisy has since appeared in films like Hate Story 3 and Race 3.
